Ueah, kind of delicate.

Well THAT was dastardly!  I just checked RockAuto to find a link to the bulbs I bought, and clicked on the link to check on my order.  It said they didn't have the bulbs and canceled the order.  Good thing I didn't sit like a puppy dog watching my mailbox for weeks!  And the hunt goes on! 

tudball,

Did you ever get your bulb?

Nope.  A guy from RockAuto left me a voicemail that they didn't actually carry #550s anymore because they had been discontinued, but they still had one left in a warehouse ... and did I want it?  YES!  But when it arrived it was a Wagner Heavy Duty Flasher unit, stock number BP550.   They refunded my money and don't want the flasher unit back (anyone need it?) so I'm still on the hunt.

Not sure if I'm correct on the flasher number, but the 550 was used for heavier applications or for trailer towing. The added trailer lights made the lighter weight flasher flash too fast.

The factory application for the '59 was to flash at 90 flashes per minute. The 550 makes it flash at 60 flashes per minute. But the more modern flasher makes both dash arrows flash. The exterior lights work correctly, just the dash light were wrong, whereas the factory unit lets everything work as intended.

Look at it MTB. Is it a 2 or 3 leg flasher

Fins:  It's a three-prong flasher.

Car Freak:  Thanks for any help!

Excruiserguy:  Mrs. A'whiggans is actually my spousal unit's nickname.  Decades ago she filled in at my office as receptionist for a few days and her desk was right outside my office.  I heard a call come in that was for me, heard her put it on hold (those old phones with the light-up plastic buttons along the bottom) and she's trying to intercom me going "helloooooo hellooooo" and I said something like "Pusha da button, Mrs. A'Whiggans, push da button!"  The names stuck.

Both.

RockAuto sent a 550 flasher unit instead of the bulb.

 :hijack:  The bulb got boring, so we moved to flashers instead.  :rotfl:
